High Corn Fructose is metabolized in your liver and is equally harmful like sugar if not less!

“Death By Sugar” is indeed not an overstatement as points out Dr Robert Lustig. If you have an hour on hand, watch his video. He is well known for his research on what sugar does to the body.

Bottomline, eating these sugar-laden cereals is the worst way to start your day, more so for your kids.

Unfortunately, the marketers of cereal companies target the kids.

I still remember, me buying these expensive cereals not because I was dying to eat them, but because I wanted those cartoon characters that came Free with these boxes:(

Good Alternatives to eating a healthy breakfast:

Whole egg with Whole-wheat (or sprouted bread):

Steel-Cut Oats made with Whole Milk:

Final Note:

If you are hell bent on eating cereals than do this:

Choose the one with the least amount of sugar

Add whole cows’ milk

Add seeds like flaxseeds, and nuts like almonds and walnuts.

This will add protein and healthy fats, which will slow down gastric emptying, give you that feeling of fullness and there won’t be any blood sugar drop. The overall glycemic load of the meal will drop significantly and so will the amount of insulin released.

Less insulin means less fat storage.
